It Is Now Illegal for New Yorkers to Load More Than Seven Rounds Into an 10-Round Ammunition Magazine

It’s one minute past midnight on April 15, 2013. Under the provisions of the New York Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act of 2013 (a.k.a., the SAFE Act), Empire State gun owners are now prohibited  from loading/possessing an ammunition magazine with more than seven rounds. There are two exceptions: if the owner is loading-up at an incorporated shooting range, or if he or she is shooting at an NRA or International Handgun Metallic Silhouette Association event. Home defense? Fuhgeddaboutit. An owner who dares to defy the SAFE Act for his or her or family’s safety is looking at a Class B misdemeanor, facing 1 to 3 (and up to 25 years) in prison. That puts a pistol-stuffing perp on a par with criminals convicted of manslaughter 1, rape 1 and arsenal 1 (Man United nil). What are the odds owners will comply? Would you?
